With a philosophy to create products that advance human performance, 2XU is fast becoming the most technical performance sports brand on the planet. Founded and based in Melbourne, Australia, 2XU products can be seen worn by some of the worlds most elite athletes and teams.
The 2XU Compression Race Sock has been specifically designed for competition and training wear to stabilise muscles for less fatigue and tissue damage. Through a graduated fit and powerful yarns the Race Socks aid blood circulation for faster flushing of lactates and improved oxygen circulation.
The Race Socks are long and fit above the calf to just under the knee. Each sock is labelled L & R and have the feeling of a light weight sock. The first thing I noticed was the tight fit. Getting the sock on over the foot and then over the calf was not easy and took a couple of minutes to fit.
The supplied sample was a size M and is supposed to be worn tight, as tight as possibly comfortable. I have fairly large calves that were a challenge fitting over. Once fitted, the socks are amazingly comfortable with the feeling of compression very noticeable.
The only negative of the 2XU Compression Race Socks may be the actual look of them whilst being worn. It is perhaps not the most fashionable statement to wear knee high white socks in public but with the benefits outweighing modesty it’s all thumbs up for the Compression Race Socks.
The 2XU Compression Race Socks retail for AU$50 and are available in a range of sizes from S-XL.
